So. I went out and drove our signal last night I had a clear and audible signal from Majors Place to Lages Junction. The minor improvements in our audio processing have made a significant improvement in our signal.

So, why are you not able to hear us better?

1) Try turning your radio. Many radios have a ferrite antenna inside that runs the length of the radio. It is a very directional antenna. Try rotating the radio to improve the signal. No, I'm not going to move the 200 foot tower to help.

2) Move the radio away from florescent or LED lighting, computers, or television sets. The FCC knows these (mostly Chinese made) devices interfere with AM (and in some cases FM) broadcast signals in violation of Part 15 of their rules and regulations and the FCC doesn't give a crap. So listeners blame the stations instead of the FCC. I'm used to it. So, there you go.

3) Add a simple antenna. I'll have a couple of solutions posted shortly. One inexpensive, one not real pricey but it works.

So try the first two before you try the third. And thanks for listening!

So...about this morning's smoke...

There are no currently burning fires that have been reported in White Pine County.

HOWEVER...winds are from the west, and there are a couple of active fires in ane around the Reno area, so after talking with the forecaster at the US National Weather Service Elko NV, that's the only possibility as to where this smoke is coming from.

Yeah, again this year...

So, those of you calling the White Pine County Sheriff's Office and the Ely Volunteer Fire Department, you can ease off...
